Well my favorite colors are lilac and ruby, I love them together as well.I would LOVE to see a gorgeous Black Widow inspired pin. Maybe black and silver wire with a ruby, or a wire wrapped hourglass. I feel like it would be so stunning and beautiful <3 thank you SOOO much for the chance to win one of your pieces!

hey i shared your post on facebook :) also i just love the colors of the purple one it really is an eyecatcher, therefor my favorite of the 4. for your next spider pin i would love to see something like a neon green spider. with the neon green accents referring to the poison of the spider. maybe you could do something with neon green tubes referring to the poison that runs through the spider. to keep it steampunk style, make the legs of copper and add a movement to the back of the spider. some kind of bio hazard logo would make it complete ! hope this is some advice or idea your are searching for :) i really love your work man, keep it up! cheers Wouthezx

I would like to see a Pacific Northwest wolf spider, like the ones I find in my house. They are big, brown furry guys. I think they are pretty cool and have beautiful fall coloring. They are also poisonous, but they have left me alone. Good spider friends.

Well first, thanks for an opportunity to see more creations and possibly get one

Dearest colors to me are Storm Grey, Kelly Green and Black

I agree a mini leaf-spring spider would be phenomenal, but for new idea I would love to see a rendition of a jumping spider, they are so inquisitive; or perhaps a black widow themeo with a black/red cameo as the body with tiny swarovski crystals as eyes? Tangible beauty as always!!!

I love the colors you have now... And to comply with your request for the post, maybe a darker green and gunmetal, with and an emerald colored crystal. I also love the purple one for the giveaway; I would buy one of those.

My favorite color is royal purple, and I usually like to see it combined with a nice forest green or bright yellow.As for your spiders, I think I'd like to see a "poison ring" style spider, with an abdomen that opens up to hide small treasures within.

My favourite colour is the purple one. I'd really love to see more pins in the future, and more animal shaped one, perhaps some owls, or octopus? ;) You should also keep on doing the precious stone color scheme, I like it!

I like the fully metallic ones, so I would go for the one with the cyan jewel. even though generally I like the colours red, black and purple for stuff. I kind of think a clockwork head and an amber abdomen with smaller spider/s trapped inside would be awesome. (Or a transparent cameo effect depicting this?)

My favourite one is the blue spider, somehow she looks more gentle than the others!

I would love to see a tiny mechanical peacock spider, maybe with a round piece of copper etched with colours, they're so lovely and colourful! You could eve play with the peacock part and use a small peacock feather on her.

I love green, maybe associated with the same leg colors than the blue one? Suggestion for the next spider pins... hum... you could try a shape somehow different, more inspired from orb weavers. I like the look of the Nephila species, as well as the Micrathena ones. I'm sure you'd find Micrathena inspiring, give it a look!

They are all beautiful and shinny, what more could a girl want? Personal choice, I prefer metals over colours. They would look oh so nice co-ordinated with hat pins of the same design [smaller?] or cravat tacks.Posted your contest to my own and business FB page.

I love the one with the blue stone! you had it labeled "blue dragon veins agate and antique watch movement". A black or gold one would be really cool to see from you I think. Thanks for hosting this contest!

I would love to see one similar to the top, but with a darker green for the legs. Use some form of spike or half-cog to accent joints, a head with many small eyes like a real spider, and a more rounded abdomen using a taxidermy eye that matches the legs.

My friend Amy LOVES spiders and I could see her with a red and black spider lapel pin. She portrays a pirate at our home renaissance faire and she looks lovely in red and black. Amazing work! Keep it up.
